As woman even though i have never been pregnant I get comfort is very important while pregnant. But as person I have the common sense not ask somebody for their seat. If she wanted comfort she should have paid for it. Being pregnant doesn't make you special.
If she truly feelt she needed it she would have booked it or offer to buy the seat of someone. I get being pregnant is massive and some of the worst and yet best times of your life, however, not of my life. I don't care.😂
NTA,you should've said "and you don't know what it's like to be 6,4 and having to pay extra to stretch your legs for once".she was out of line to get so upset to not be allowed an expensive seat she didn't pay for
No, you are not wrong. You did pay for that seat and that accommodation due to your physical needs. It is a shame she didn’t do the same for her physical needs. But her poor decision isn’t your responsibility or the responsibility of the other passengers. And, from your response, had it been a bus, train, or any other situation with a much more level playing field you probably would’ve accommodated her. Hopefully she can make better choices next time instead of attempting to gaslight strangers into giving up their seats.
She knew she was pregnant, and knew it was a long flight. She should have prepared and booked her seat accordingly. He did. Not his fault, and he's NTA.
My God!!! She's a medical miracle!!! To book a flight with no special accommodation only to board and when you reach your assigned seat you instantly become not only pregnant but to be instantly months along. I can only assume that is why she was not aware that she was visibly pregnant & should have made special accommodations for herself. Scientists need to study her.
NTA cause she absolutely could have paid for a different seat however, she likely didn’t because she assumed the flight would accommodate her specifically because she’s pregnant. She wanted special treatment. People did that shit all the time with bags they need to check too. Woman is just wanting to see how much of her privilege would get her and I’m glad to see it back fired for her. Next time she’ll pay for a nicer seat.
NTA. She had the same opportunity as you to book in advance and pay for a comfort seat. Feeling guilty comes from your good upbringing. Chivalry is a well needed courtesy in our world but generally only applies to situations where the chivalrous person is only extending themselves to a reasonable extent and the needing person is gaining a reasonable benefit. The situation you described is too far unbalanced. You lose a lot-she gains a reasonable amount. She could have sweetened the deal by offering some agreeable reimbursement like $5000.00. Maybe that would have made the deal more interesting to you.
She should have booked that from the very beginning she's trying to get somebody else to pay for her comfort. And I'm sorry if she's pregnant that's her issue and she should have taken care of it and then responsible. But even if she was not pregnant just a regular person it's the same issue goes you be responsible take care of those issues in the beginning instead of thinking you're going to call somebody out of their seat
It's really wrong of the airline to have It's staff harass people like that. Also why would she risk a 12 hour flight in discomfort if she needed it so much? 12 hours? That's a lot.
Nope. She wanted more comfort and didn‘t think about yours one bit. Not your obligation. I would would have felt a little guilt too but here is the thing, she wouldn‘t have the same problem.
Definitely not wrong. I really dislike when pregnant woman feel they should be catered to. You know you were going to fly and knew you were pregnant should have paid the extra.
NTA, she decided to fly while pregnant. What’s more, she should have paid for a seat with more room. It’s very entitled to ask anyone to give up their seat. you didn’t impregnate her.
No. She had a seat and was cleared to fly, so not in 3rd trimester. She had the same opportunity to book a comfort seat as you did. Her poor planning shouldn't make you uncomfortable.
You are not wrong it is not that she did not have a seat she wanted a comfortable seat. The flight attendend should not have given her the idea that there was that possibility. When she booked her seat they should have told her
So what are the rules in such a situation? If he gave her his seat, would he get those extra 200 dollars back? Cause if not, then there is nothing wrong with what he did. Why would he give 200 dollars to a stranger? Also, I'm sure noone forced her to get pregnant... And if she wanted more comfort, she should have paid extra like he did.
I wouldn't have moved unless they were offering an upgrade, the amount of money that airtravel costs is insane, so to pay extra and be asked to move is ridiculous
If you didn't put the baby in her you're under no obligations to treat her special, I don't move from my train seat or bus seat for pregnant women don't like it get a car if I am paying for it and I've sat down tough tutties.
